    Running Optimize literally does nothing; in PS it yields an error


    After doing a clean install of Windows 10 20H2 (OS Build 19042.906) and fully updating it, and updating all of the Dell drivers from Dell.com, I tried the following Optimize and Defrag options from How to Optimize and Defragment Drives in Windows 10 (tenforums.com/tutorials/8933-optimize-defrag-drives-windows-10-a.html): OPTION ONE: To Optimize Drives in Optimize Drives Tool: Steps 2, 3, and 4,OPTION TWO: To Optimize Drives in Command Prompt: Step 2, andOPTION THREE: To Optimize Drives in PowerShell: Step 3 The four steps attempted from Options 1 and 2 resulted in no notice action; i.e., it appeared as though nothing happened after executing the commands. When I ran Step 3 of Option 3, I received the following error message. What does this mean and now what do I do? Thanks!

    Running Optimize literally does nothing; in PS it yields an error

    After doing a clean install of Windows 10 20H2 (OS Build 19042.906) and fully updating it, and updating all of the Dell drivers from Dell.com, I tried the following Optimize and Defrag options from How to Optimize and Defragment Drives in Windows 10 (tenforums.com/tutorials/8933-optimize-defrag-drives-windows-10-a.html):

    • OPTION ONE: To Optimize Drives in Optimize Drives Tool: Steps 2, 3, and 4,
    • OPTION TWO: To Optimize Drives in Command Prompt: Step 2, and
    • OPTION THREE: To Optimize Drives in PowerShell: Step 3
    The four steps attempted from Options 1 and 2 resulted in no notice action; i.e., it appeared as though nothing happened after executing the commands.

    When I ran Step 3 of Option 3, I received the following error message.

    What does this mean and now what do I do?

    Thanks!

    Thanks. Will do that tonight and report the results.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Success!

    However, the process was longer than expected.

    1. chkdsk did nothing
    2. dism got stuck at 54.9%
    3. hard reboot
    4. sfc ran well
    5. dism ran well
    6. chkdsk ran well
    7. optimize ran well
    Thanks!

    I'm not sure about the error output maybe NTFS file system is corrupted execute Chkdsk C: /f command to schedule a error corrections on C: storage drive.

    You can also execute following commands one at atime to repiar corrupted Windows system files.
